In the Spaghetti Western “A Man Called Sledge” (1970) we
see a ruined church at the end of the film where the remainder of the gang have
taken the gold and Ria and are hiding out from Sledge. Eventually they are all
eliminated. This church was fake and built at the edge of town on a small hill.
When western fans go to the town they continue to seek out what is left of the
church. When they ask the local townspeople for directions to the church they
are greatly disappointed when told to go to the center of town and see the real
village church. A small whitewashed building surrounded by trees and kept in
impeccable condition by the villagers.

AHR Visions Studios, and 6S, LLC bring THE SIX SWORDS, a post-apocalyptic
spaghetti western to Kickstarter.

The Six Swords can only be described as resembling a Shaw
Brother Kung-Fu series and Quentin Tarantino-esque mashup between fantasy
anime, spaghetti westerns and philosophical science fiction. Pulling no punches
on commentary of war, politics and social interactions, the Six Swords promises
to be just more than bloody good violence and gratuitous nudity. In
corroboration with 6S, LLC and AHR Visions Studios comes an original series
that will take you into a new and redefined translation of the “old west”.

THE SIX SWORDS #1, a thrilling tale of violence,
gratuitous nudity and vengeance, created by Chris Massari, Matt Perez, and Mel
Sapiandante. Issue 1 cover art by A. Rashid, Line art by Ryan Cody, Color art
by Elaine Unger, and Lettering by Renato Guerra.

Set in the bleak future of the Divided States of America
post World War IV, six men in a fiercely changed New Orleans find themselves
pursuing bounties on each other, as placed by the local warlord known as the
Switchblade. Quickly realizing that they have been tricked into killing each
other, they haphazardly join together to escape the city, hacking and slashing
their way through roves of bandits and gangs.

This original series is an action-packed title that
propels the audience into a post-WW VI landscape with fresh new characters and
old-school concepts that will be brand new to some readers and nostalgic for
others! As this series prepares for official launch please join in the
Kickstarter campaign and support this indie title (and others that will be
coming down the line from our studios)
